A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
Remember that credit crunch? It might just be getting worse. According to a New York Daily News story, the government is telling Bank of America, who they bailed out earlier, that they need $34 billion in capital. I wonder if they will start calling in loans, further deepening the mortgage crisis.
